布朗肖《黑暗托马》中的“共通体”分析

Deadly Imminence and Impossibility:“Community”in Blanchot’s Thomas l’Obscur

“共通体”是布朗肖后期的重要概念,同时在其思想体系中也有重要意义。共通体将布朗肖的众多思想命题串联在了一起。共通体建构在主体本质的孤独与主体和他者的中性关系之上。共通体的实现开始于主体向着死亡的迈进,而死亡又将主体与他者联系在了一起。但是以死亡为纽带的主体与他者的关系也最终将走向陌异,而共通体也最终走向了不可能。虽然对于布朗肖而言,不可能成为了共通体的本质,但是对共通体的讨论会将把我们重新引向他者,并使我们对纯粹的主体与纯粹的理性进行反思。

The concept of community is crucial in the late career of Maurice Blanchot,and inhabits a remarkable position in his thought system.Community connects a multitude of Blanchot’s thought propositions.Community is constructed on the basis of the essential solitude of the subject and the neutral relationship between the subject and the other.The realization of community begins with the subject moving towards death,which in turn links the subject with the other.However,the relationship between the subject and the other linked by death will eventually become strange,and community will also become impossible.For Blanchot,though the impossibility becomes the essence of the community,a discussion of community will lead us back to the other,and to reflections on the pure subject and pure reason.
